1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick? Right. So here's the deal, folks, I.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: Am calling an audible today, and this is we are

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: on the precipice of one of my three favorite sports

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: weekends of the year, and we are going to do

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: our full wild Card weekend pick show, break game, breakdown,

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: all of it in a full jam packed episode that

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: will come out tomorrow.

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Today.

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: However, we are going to do something very very different

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: given the events in Minnesota yesterday.

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: And typically when I.

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: Stray from sports, I tell people, hey, you know you

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: fast forward here or come back tomorrow. I am going

14
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: to implore, implore people to with an open mind and

15
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: an open heart, spend these next fifteen minutes with me.

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: And that's really I think all it'll be. And then

17
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: we'll wrap up the show and then we'll, you know,

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: put the clown noses back on and get back in

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: the playground talk sports.

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: But I really, if I have, if I have earned

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: even the smallest sliver of your trust or respect over the.

22
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how long you guys have been with

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: me as an audience decade in the national spotlight. I

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: really am asking you to spend these next ten to

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes with.

26
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Me, And what I'm not gonna do.

27
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: Is argue with folks about what is shown on that

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: video that at this point I assume everyone has seen

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: or at least has seen snippets of, and everyone who

30
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: has watched that video knows what they see.

31
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: And I and I just.

32
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: Have to believe that deep down at their core, every

33
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: single person who has even a shred of humanity or

34
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: empathy left, every single person who has not who is

35
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: still a person that sees that video is horrified and

36
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: sad and for a lot of folks justifiably very very angry.

37
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: And I understand that some people have had their brain

38
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: poison and so deeply by their social media feeds, or

39
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: by their own tribalism, or just by deep pervasive hate

40
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: for anyone they perceive to be on the other side,

41
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: that they can't find the empathy, and they will go

42
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: even further and attempt to justify or rationalize or maybe

43
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: even cheer on.

44
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: What's shown in that video. But the video of.

45
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Renee Nicole Good being shot three times at point blank

46
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: range does speak for itself. So I'm actually not going

47
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: to be talking about that. I'm not going to get

48
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: him back and forth or discuss proper police procedures or

49
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: if that was a good or bad. I'm not doing that.

50
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I just want to ask one question, what are we

51
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: okay with? That's it. What are we as Americans okay with?

52
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: And when I said, I'm going to ask you to

53
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: trust me, just follow me down this road because we

54
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: are as Americans, we are collectively okay with the topic

55
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 2: of the day, mass deportations.

56
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: With me here.

57
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: I believe in democracy. I try not to be a

58
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: sore loser, and I'm also not a conspiracy theorist, and

59
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: so I don't claim, you know, this election was stolen.

60
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: That election was not like we had a presidential election.

61
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: One party ran with mass deportations being a huge part

62
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: of their platform, and they won. It didn't sneak up

63
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: on us.

64
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: They didn't.

65
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: It wasn't in the fine print. It was a huge

66
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: they had signed it did mass deportations. Now there was

67
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: an election and the candidate and the party that supported

68
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: that one. You cannot like it or like it. I

69
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: could not like it. But they won. And so we

70
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: can't say we didn't see that coming. They told us

71
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: it was coming. The country wanted it, and here we are.

72
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: So we are okay with that. Collectively, the majority is

73
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: and anyone that put pencil to paper about the math

74
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: of actually deporting millions and millions of people had to

75
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: reckon with that. If they were going to fulfill their

76
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: campaign promise, it would be through brute force and there

77
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: would be unspeakable hardship on countless communities throughout the country.

78
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: And we were okay with that. So if you are

79
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: a proud American, which I am, you have to come

80
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: to terms with that. So that that is something that

81
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: I know we're okay with even if I hate it,

82
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 2: But other things are happening that we need to have that.

83
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't.

84
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 2: Had the vigorous, true national debate about whether or not

85
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: we are okay with The debate has not happened, and

86
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: it's taking place anyway. So are we okay with the

87
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: term domestic terrorist losing any meaning whatsoever? Are we okay

88
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: with that? Because if that woman, if Renaneicle Good, can

89
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: be classified as a domestic terrorist, then literally any of

90
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: us can be any of us. And words have to

91
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: matter because not only do they tether us to a

92
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: shared reality, but they have real words, like domestic terrorists

93
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: have real legal ramifications. There are protections theoretically that we

94
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: all have as American citizens that become far shakier if

95
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: we are designated as a terrorist, foreign or domestic. So

96
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: I want to be on the record on this. I'm

97
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: not okay with domestic terrorist simply being a catch all

98
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: term you to describe nearly anyone that the people currently

99
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: empowered dislike, or use to describe a protester, or use

100
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: to describe a thirty seven year old mother making a

101
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: four point turn attempting to flee law enforcement. I have

102
00:08:48,720 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: another question. Are we okay with giving masked, armed, in

103
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: badgeless men, many of which have had far less training

104
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: than your local police force, absolute power over us as

105
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: American citizens anytime we run into them? And to further that,

106
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: are we okay with the growing consensus in some corners

107
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: of American life that the justifiable penalty for failing to

108
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: comply with a law enforcement officer very likely maybe lethal force.

109
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: Are we okay.

110
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: That we are a country with a foundational principle of

111
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: innocent until proven guilty, being entitled to a trial by

112
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: a jury of your peers, not being detained without probable cause,

113
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 2: and everything that historically has made America's system of jurisprudence,

114
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: the envy of the world, things that apply if you

115
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: are accused of murder, that all of those things can

116
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 2: be thrown out the window at any given moment by

117
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: a dude in a mask with forty seven days of

118
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:46,359
Speaker 2: training because he's on a power trip. Are we okay

119
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: with the de facto punishment for failure to comply with

120
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: a law enforcement officer, at times being harsher than the

121
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: punishment for bank robbery. I'm not okay with that. Nobody

122
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 2: voted for that, but that is clearly let me revise.

123
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: I don't know that nobody voted for that, but that

124
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: was not put to a vote. Maybe people, It appears

125
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: some people like it. And if that is where we

126
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 2: want to be as a country, then I want I

127
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: want there to be a vigorous debate. I want people

128
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: to make their case and then we'll see who we actually.

129
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Are as a country.

130
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: But I'm not I can't believe that's where people actually are,

131
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: but it is the direction we're heading, more rapidly than

132
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 2: ever before. Are we okay with becoming a nation of

133
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: show me your papers, that any of us, at any

134
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: given moment, for no rhyme or reason, might have to

135
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: prove we are allowed to be where we are?

136
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: Are we okay with that?

137
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: Again, if we as a country are, then I want

138
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: to see the proof. I want that to be debated,

139
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: and I want folks that think that is the best

140
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: version of America to make their case, and if they win,

141
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: so be it. But I'm not okay with that simply

142
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: just being a thing now just happening. Are we okay

143
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 2: that we have unleashed a band of masked, armed, anonymous men.

144
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: Across this nation.

145
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: That appear to feel accountable to no one, And if

146
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: they didn't feel accountable to anyone before yesterday, they can

147
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: only be emboldened after they saw that video and then,

148
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: most importantly, saw the reaction of literally the most powerful

149
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: people in the country exonerate the shooter and demonize the victim.

150
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 2: Are we okay that we are a nation with foundational principles,

151
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: foundational principles based in resisting and oppressive government, freedom of speech,

152
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: freedom of protests, freedom of movement, innocent until proven guilty,

153
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: and all.

154
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: That goes along with that.

155
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 2: And none of that applies evidently if you happen to

156
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: run into the wrong federal agent.

157
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: Who decides.

158
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: Don't care about your constitutional rights, and he might just

159
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: decide that the penalty for not listening to him is death,

160
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: and then post mortem you might be branded a terrorist

161
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: by your own government. Are we really okay with that?

162
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Is that really who we? Is that the road we

163
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: want to go down?

164
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: And lastly, and this is bigger than yesterday's tragedy, But

165
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: yesterday's tragedy and I feel I feel terribly saying that

166
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: for that woman and her family, I understand nothing's bigger

167
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: than their stage tragedy. I apologize, But yesterday's strategy is

168
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: once again shined to spotlight on this. Are we okay

169
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: with there no longer being any type of shared morality

170
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: amongst us as Americans that Trump's our political affiliations? Are

171
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: we okay that we currently live in a world where

172
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: we can see a thirty seven year old mother shot

173
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: dead in the street, and we know when we see it,

174
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: some people, including some of the most powerful people, will

175
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: not only justify it, but try to convince you that

176
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: you didn't see what you just saw. Are we okay

177
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: with lyne by the world's most powerful people becoming so

178
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: brazen and commonplace that even when it's as black and

179
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: white as the video of the shooting of Renanical Good

180
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: that they believe they can instantly create an alternate reality where.

181
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: What we all saw on video is not what we

182
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: saw on video.

183
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: I'm not okay with any of it, and deep down

184
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: in your heart, in your soul, in the marrow of

185
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: your bones, I gotta believe you're not okay with it either.

186
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: That's right,
